Nine attorneys from the Minnesota law firm Heimerl & Lammers have been selected for the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers and Rising Stars lists, an honor administered by Thomson Reuters that recognizes no more than five percent of attorneys in the state as Super Lawyers and two and a half percent as Rising Stars. The announcement, made by the firm, highlights the breadth of legal talent within its practice groups and reinforces the firm's standing in the competitive Minnesota legal market.
The selection process for Super Lawyers combines peer nominations, independent third-party research, and evaluation across a range of professional achievement indicators. Because the criteria are rigorous and the annual list caps the number of honorees, inclusion is widely viewed as a credible third-party signal of an attorney's professional reputation and skill. For clients seeking legal representation, such recognition can serve as a useful benchmark when choosing counsel.
Among the 2026 Minnesota Super Lawyers are Carlo Faccini (Family Law, first year), Benjamin J. Heimerl (Workers' Compensation, third consecutive year), Katie M. Lammers (Family Law, Top 100 Minnesota Super Lawyers, fourth consecutive year), and Michael B. Lammers (Personal Injury General: Plaintiff, seventh consecutive year). Katie Lammers' nomination to the Top 100 Minnesota list reflects a long record of peer respect and professional credibility in family law. She brings substantial experience in litigation, trial work, appellate matters, and mediation to every case she takes on.
The 2026 Minnesota Rising Stars include Heather Y. Hamilton (Family Law, first year), Hunter N. Kinsey (Family Law, third consecutive year), Courtney E. Latcham (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), Kyle Prouty (Family Law, fifth consecutive year), and Ingrid Wahlquist (Workers' Compensation, second consecutive year). The Rising Stars designation is reserved for attorneys who are 40 years old or younger or who have been in practice for 10 years or less, making it a notable early-career achievement.
"This kind of recognition reflects the work our attorneys put in every day for clients," said Michael Lammers, Partner at Heimerl & Lammers. "We're proud of the entire group."
The repeat appearances by several attorneys—such as Michael Lammers' seventh consecutive year and Katie Lammers' fourth—demonstrate sustained excellence rather than a one-time honor. For the firm, the 2026 selections may enhance its ability to attract new clients in family law, workers' compensation, and personal injury, areas where reputation and trust are critical. In a legal marketplace where consumers often rely on third-party ratings to differentiate among providers, these designations can influence hiring decisions.
